Title
An Approach to Ontology Mapping Negotiation
Abstract
Ontology mapping negotiation aims to achieve consensus among real-world entities about the process of transforming information between different models (ontologies). This paper describes a novel approach for ontology mapping negotiation, in which agents representing the real-world entities are able to achieve consensus among agents, about the mapping rules defined between two different ontolo- gies. The proposed approach is based on utility functions that evaluate the confidence in a certain mapping rule. Ac- cording to the confidence value, the mapping rule is ac- cepted, rejected or negotiated. Since the negotiation proc- ess requires relaxation of the confidence value, a meta- utility function is applied, evaluating the effort made in relaxing (increasing) the confidence value, so that the map- ping rule might be accepted. This convergence value is further applied by each agent in the evaluation of the global agreement.
